    DJ Paypal's take on footwork does to R&B, disco and 1980s adult contemporary smoothness what sometime collaborators AG Cook and SOPHIE of PC Music do to bubblegum ad teeny pop. [Dec 2015, p.47]

    This teaser [is] no doubt just the beginning of a new strain of avant-footwork coming our way in 2016.

    Ultimately, Sold Out is not doing what its title cheekily alludes to. Although it traverses a variety of genres outside of footwork’s typical territory, DJ Paypal never relents on the actual practice of the juke: the core sound of the beat, getting danced on.

    Sold Out often feels like a transatlantic family gathering, with strong contributions from artists like DJ Taye, Feloneezy and Jackie Danger, all fellow members of the global Teklife crew.

    In spite of the giddy playfulness, it never comes off as a lark. You’ll get no closer to ascertaining his actual identity, but as the balance between jokes and earnest emoting narrows, Sold Out presents something of an abstract portrait of the man behind the haze.

    It’s a solid album, albeit one without many ultra-impressive peaks. But, arguably more importantly, it’s a reimagining of footwork’s impressive potential.

    Shades of The Herbaliser's Something Wicked This Way Comes abound, and the sensation that there's some kind of malevolent presence woven through the eight songs that make up Sold Out never fully escapes you.
